A member asked:

My wife has ringworm on her arm, was curious that if our 8 month old son gets it can you use lotrimin antifungal on him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: But I wouldn't assume any rash he gets is fungal. Avoid any Lotrimin product with a steroid in it unless suggested by his doc.
